Even the Stars Look Lonesome by Maya Angelou
"This book grounds me in times of uncertainty, I know I will be flipping through the pages in the midst of the stress of the holiday season. Hearing the words of Angelou: about her own experiences and those who inspired her, makes her feel closer to me. It's like sitting and having a conversation with the iconic poet herself." –Reilly P.

The Essential Wendell Berry

by Wendell Berry
event schedule on pages 59-61!

Berry is one of my favorite authors and this book of essays resonates as deeply as his fiction. To quote Matthew Boffey (one of our fabulous customers), "This book has awakened me to my participation in markets that destroy local economies. Paying a little extra for a book is worth the clear conscience and the joy of supporting my community." –Paul

Sex
Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science that Will Transform Your Sex Life by Robin Wall Kimmerer "Lots of things were left out of High School Sex Ed. I recommend this book for anyone who has sexual intercourse. For someone who is young and experimenting it is important to know what you like while being safe. This is a great gift to your children, grandchildren or friends who you may or may not know a lot about their personal life. So get freaky! Communicate! And enjoy sex!" –Gabi

Doggie Language: A Dog Lover's Guide to Understanding Your Best Friend
by Lili Chin "This book is perfect for our human companions! They frequently don't understand our *obviously* clear body language, so the illustrations in this little guide will be very informative to them. My human says the writing is helpful, too (I wouldn't know, I'm just a pup)! Woof woof." –Denali
